What teams say
after working with me.

A master of development. One of the best .NET developers, but the truth is the technology doesn't matter. He understands any language or stack and optimizes solutions to the very last bit. I recommend George for any project, no matter the difficulty.

On a greenfield project for Microsoft MBG Group, George was hands down one of the strongest pillars of the team. Best in class on proactivity and reliability. I strongly believe he can be an invaluable asset on any team, as a developer or a technical lead.
